    Communism, while a great idealistic thought, in reality cant work. Yes it will work for awhile within a government that has a capitalistic working class, but over time as you take from the working class and give to others you begin to break down the overall incentive to work for excellence. It breeds mediocrity and more laziness, which in turn, produces less and less profits to sustain a communism system. You can already see the breakdown in the US by all of the government programs for handouts and such... each generation produces more dependents (willing and non-willing) on government programs—thus more strain on the working class. It's not about morality, there should always be a concern and way of helping the needy and poor, but to say that everyone will get "x" amount for "y" work and think people will work hard and continue to innovate is asinine, just not in human nature to do so.

    Possible exceptions where something like Communism has a chance to work is in a dictatorship which has its people working in fear- ie. North Korea (not fun). And possibly a country that has valuable natural resources in which its government manages fairly and offsets the lack of profits created in its communist system- ie. Norway (very rare combination).

    People can criticize capitalism all they want, but please dont do so without first acknowledging that you enjoy the countless benefits of such a system daily. Kinda like the 99% occupy protesters tweeting from their iPhones.

    This is how I feel communism would end up being.
